For instance, Fordham beat CCNY in their first game, and those stats are included in the team totals that NCAA lists. I'd hope NCAA finds a way to get the non-Div 1 games out of there. Figgie

Tied for #2 with Davidson in offensive efficiency behind only St Joe's in kenpom. Please tell me the NCAA adjusts for competition. Kenpom not totally normalized yet (relies on assumptions until normalized). But I bet the issue is with the NCAA. The whole NET thing is an absolute fiasco. Zero transparency on how calculate the 5 factors, zero transparency on weighting of the 5 factors, and then they throw in "machine learning." We have over 100+ artificial intelligence (think machine learning but I am simplifying) engineers and how the NCAA constructs the algorithm, what data they use to learn, etc, etc, etc all matter massively. GuRanteee nobody on the committee has a clue.

	Fordham FORDHAM Fordham University is an independent Jesuit university established in 1841 as St. John's College on old Rose Hill Manor in the village of Fordham, then part of Westchester County in the Bronx, NY. The name Fordham is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words "ford" and "ham," meaning a wading place or ford by a settlement. Rose Hill is the name given to the site in 1787 by Robert Watts, a wealthy New York merchant, in honor of his family's ancestral home of the same name in Scotland. The College was originally staffed by diocesan clergy. The name was officially changed to Fordham University in 1907. Fordham's 10 schools enroll 14,448 students. There are 7,652 undergraduates, of whom 3,842 live in University-managed housing either on-campus or in the local community. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Rams. Athletic claim to fame is consistent mediocrity in nearly all sports and few A10 title winning programs.
